Wine country · WINE TOURS IN SANTORINI
The vines here are coiled into baskets on the ground and the wine tastes like the volcano. These 8 compare the estate counts, the sunset timing and whether food arrives with the pours.
Spend nine hours touring Santorini by comfortable coach, from Profitis Ilias and its island-wide views to Pyrgos, Emporio, Perissa Beach, and Oia. An English-speaking guide such as Mary, Yannis, Kim, or Marie adds local context, while a tasting of three wines brings a pleasant break before sunset.
“Overall a great day trip, other than the rainy day that we missed some beautiful spots.”
Visit three Santorini wineries, taste 12 wines with cheese, meats, and local snacks, and learn why volcanic soil and basket-trained vines shape the island’s wines. Choose the sunset departure for a full caldera sunset at Santo Wines. Guides such as Elena, Angelo, Marina, and Giannis lead the small-group outing.
“We had a great time! Angelo was super knowledgeable and fun. Loved the explanations, the details, and of course the wines and small bites! Learned about the wine making process and it was really cool to talk through the pairings and science behind the different wines as well. 10/10 would recommend this tour!”
Visit three Santorini wineries with a sommelier guide such as Nicholas, Constantine, or Rafael. Taste 10 local wines, learn how volcanic soil shapes Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, enjoy a Greek dinner, and finish with sunset views. Pickup and return transport are included.
“Such a wonderful experience. Nick is so knowledgeable and informative. Dinner was delicious with the pairing. Definitely recommend.”
Meet Chef Christos at Feggera in Megalochori for a 3.5-hour Greek cooking class. Prepare tzatziki, salad, tomato fritters, and pastitsio, then sit down to eat with island wine. The class suits beginners, families, and experienced cooks, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available.
“One of the best classes I’ve ever done, I highly recommend it! All of the dishes we made were absolutely incredible. It was one of the best meals we ate on our entire vacation. We learned lots of good tips and tricks and overall just can’t recommend enough.”

“Our wine tour was the BEST! Angelo was very knowledgeable, hospitable, cordial, and fun! We highly recommend Angelo. We think the other wine tours at the wineries were watching us because we were having so much fun. We learned about Santorini wine, wine in general, wine pairing, and other wine related knowledge. We laughed so hard with all the fun. We are still talking about this activity. It was the perfect afternoon activity. The sunset at the last winery was beautiful. There were 6 in our group-3 couples, my husband and our adult children with partners. All of us would 100% recommend this wine tour.”
